April 2023 Float Notes
When life is calm, everyone wants to float.
When life is stressful, everyone should float.
What is your Toxic Stress Load?! Toxic stress occurs when the brain and body's fight-or-flight response is activated too often or for too long.
Toxic Stress Load (TSL) refers to the accumulation of physical and mental changes, resulting from prolonged negative experiences. Your TSL consists of the baggage, scars, and tensions you’ve collected throughout your life.
When your TSL becomes overwhelming, it can actually age you. And, our inability to escape technology—for even a day—means our physical and mental systems receive a constant bombardment of stimulation.
When we’re stressed, our heart beats faster, our blood pressure increases, and adrenaline and cortisol (the stress hormone) surge through our system to make us stronger, faster, and more alert.
But when the stress is longer lasting, these stress-related chemicals continue to surge through our bodies, making us susceptible to fatigue and illness.
Not surprisingly, flotation therapy helps with cortisol regulation: repeated floatation-assisted relaxation decreases cortisol levels in the blood. Additionally, ‘disconnecting’ from technology provides the nervous system with a respite from outside stimulation, which is beneficial for mental health.

Meet the Staff!
Every floatationist at Bodymind is also a regular floater!
…so we all have great hair and skin! A standard float exposes your skin to Epsom salt that helps to soften and exfoliate rough, dry skin, and can add life and volume to thin, limp hair.
